White blood cell

The lymphatic system is an important part of the immune system. The lymph nodes filter lymph fluid as it flows through them, trapping bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances, which are then destroyed by special white blood cells called lymphocytes.

White blood cells (also called leukocytes or leucocytes and abbreviated as WBCs) are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.

The answer is D, white blood cells.

The main function of white blood cells is to defense the body from bacteria or other pathogens. There's 2 main kinds of white blood cells, lymphocytes and phagocytes. Lymphocytes mainly produce antibodies that can kill bacteria or any pathogens, and phagocytes can ingest the pathogens directly.

Therefore, since the white blood cells can protect our body, they're part of our immune system.

serg [7]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is that our student accumulated lactic acid.</u>

Explanation:

<u>What is acid lactic and where it comes from?</u> It comes from the breakdown of glucose when there is no oxygen present (glycolytic metabolism), that is, in an anaerobic exercise such as running or cycling at high speed, like the case of our student, where there is a high intensity and a very short duration.

<u>What happen then?  </u>When we keep doing exercise with high intensity an exercise, lactic acid will begin to accumulate by not giving the body time to remove it.

<u>How can we avoid lactic acid?</u> With training, there is no more. Based on training, the body deploys adaptive mechanism that causes lactic acid not to accumulate so quickly and if it begins to do so, the muscle supports it more effectively.
